I was sorry to learn about Jerel passing away. I worked for a lot of years at CHDC while Jewel worked here and he always had a smile on his face and worked so well with our clients. He worked along with Bill Bryant and the two of them were a barrel of laughs. Sincere sympathy to you and your family. I'll be remembering you in the days and weeks ahead. Love in Christ, Jolinda Bryant

I am very sorry to read of the loss of, Mr. Seay. He was a very faithful and dedicated man, married for 57 years! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, " Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandpa and friend. Sincerely, Meryl
